Bush Makes Protesters Disappear"President Bush has never been an advocate of the First Amendment. Even when he was governor of Texas, he prohibited demonstrations on the walkways in front of the governor's mansion, an area that had traditionally been used for peaceful protests.

The letter signed by 11 members of the House, including Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., and Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, states, in part: "As we read the First Amendment to the Constitution, the United States is a "free speech zone." In the United States, free speech is the rule, not the exception, and citizens' rightsto express it do not depend on their doing it in a way that the president finds politically amenable."

The pattern is clear: the Bush administration wants to suppresscivil disobedience and peaceful protest. The federal government has never criminally prosecuted an entire organization for the free speech activities of its supporters. It's an attack on the very core of the First Amendment."

Thank God for "Freedom Of Speech"... An “Informed Citizen” makes a good “Patriot.”
